- Nil By Mouth – Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard say Nil By Mouth is a film where life and art intersected because they were living in New Cross, when this film, set in New Cross came out. They used to walk past the places it was made, drink in the same pub.
- O Lucky Man! – Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard say O Lucky Man! lit a fire in them. The dizzying heights of its ambition. The breadth of its allegorical structure. The nerve of its Greek chorus.
- Marjoe – Iain Forsyth & Jane Pollard say Marjoe himself, the subject of the film is such a compelling character. You can tell he’s damaged by his upbringing as a evangelical tent revivalist preacher but he’s also driven to overcome it or at least expose elements of it.
